Salt Lake City receives hundreds of claims every year for monetary and nonmonetary damages arising from a wide variety of City operations. Generally, the City "self-insures" against the financial losses resulting from such claims. Most of those claims are successfully resolved without litigation, while others do go to litigation. The purpose of this chapter is to set forth procedures for the efficient resolution of those claims with review at the appropriate level of executive responsibility. This chapter does not apply to claims covered by an insurance policy held by the City because the insurance carrier will assume the defense of the claim and any resulting financial liability. This chapter also does not apply to employee and dependent or designee health insurance claims handled by the City's Third Party Administrator. This chapter does apply to workers' compensation claims as discussed in subsection 53-9-3E of this chapter. (2019 Compilation)
